Rafael Pedemonte is a historian specializing in the cultural Cold War in Latin America — particularly in Cuba and Chile — as well as in cultural mediation and the concept of revolution. His research follows two directions: he studies the role of cultural mediators in shaping interactions and representations between Latin America and Europe, especially the Caribbean and France; and he examines the root causes of the Cuban Revolution from a state-centered, comparative perspective, analyzing the main factors behind processes of state collapse.
